As a result, all motorists on and around the MTSU campus should be aware of several factors affecting roads and parking.

Accessing campus: MTSU’s East Main Street and Rutherford Boulevard entrances will be the most convenient campus entry points during the tournaments, university officials said. The traffic gate on Old Main Circle at the east side of the Cope Administration Building will be open for both tournaments for access to the Midgett Parking Lot and Old Main Circle.

Where to park: The Greenland Drive parking lot will be reserved for TSSAA ticket holders during both tournaments. Cost is $5 per car. Students and faculty who use the Greenland Drive lot should find alternative parking on campus, including the Tennessee Livestock Pavilion lot off Greenland Drive and the Rutherford Boulevard and MTSU parking lots.

Road closures: Faulkinberry Drive and Normal Way will be closed during both tournaments to accommodate TSSAA team buses. No parking or street access will be available.

Roads to avoid: Middle Tennessee Boulevard is still under construction, so drivers should avoid it or allow time to reach their destinations. Campus motorists also should use the university’s perimeter parking lots and the Raider Xpress shuttle service during the boys tournament. MTSU will be on spring break March 4-9.

Raider Xpress shuttles: Buses will not run during spring break and will return to normal schedule March 11. During the boys tournament, the "Green Route" will not run to the for the Greenland Drive, but an extra bus will serve the “Red Route” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 13-14 to accommodate those riders.

All other events scheduled on campus during the tournaments will be allowed first-come, first-served parking in any of MTSU’s free lots, based on availability.
